Modelling experience on AOBR Captain?


Recommended Posts

Hi

 

I Was wondering has someone made or know some link for modelling a Attack Of the blackreach (AOBR) space marine captain

 

Nowaday everyone in my playing group plays wysiwyg (what u see is what u get)

 

Captain has default

Power weapon

Boltgun

Power armor

 

I would like him to have

Relic Blade (Or is there a difference wich blade it is or do i just announce that blade is relic?)

Artificer armor

Stormshield

 

And depending situation jump pack. I dont have any spare pieces for this so if u happend to know a jumppack conversion site or how to easily make one from green stuff i would appriciate

 

Cheers

I've converted two of them, as they weren't particularly Blood Angelsy

 

Leave off the front part, with the head, torso and bolter.

Trim down a chest piece so it fits in - you need to shave the shoulders back, but once you've got the two parts in your hands you'll see what needs to be removed. I'm sure one of your gaming group will have a spare chest plate if you've not got one available.

 

You won't need to do any work to the power sword arm - I've swapped mine over, but I wanted a different weapons load.

To get the left arm to fit, I trimmed the arm/cape back to the bottom of the shoulder-pad, then trimmed down a ccw arm until it fit neatly. (pic 2) Again, if you've not got one, ask around.

 

You might need to hollow out the back of the neck to take a new head, I can't remember for sure.

 

You'll also need a tabard to cover the hole left at the crotch, as the front part of the AoBR mini has a loin-cloth. I've changed the one in pic 1, it just didn't hang right, and the second guy has a BA chest piece with hanging decoration that covers it over - I think there might be a blob of putty behind it as well

 

It's not that difficult, but plan what you're going to do before you start cutting, especially if you've not got a lot of spare parts yet.

Here's my WIP jump pack chaplain made from the AoBR captain.

Did mine like so. If you want the storm shield then it would be very easy to swap out the storm bolter.

Mine is identical bar the fact I used a bolt pistol not a storm bolter. Oh and the fact that mine isn't painted, and if it were would look less good

I've done something similar with mine, taking the front chest/bolter piece off and using it with a power fist and dark angels veteran body to make a sternguard sergeant, and using the sword, body and other bits to make a chapter champion. I think the backpack ended up on my scratch-built Pedro Kantor.

Converting the AOBR Captain by darrkenium, on Flickr

 

It's a fairly simple conversion as long as you use poly cement to add the left arm (it helps blend it in, as the elbow is nicely positioned to add a lower arm). I added a chunk of plastic carved in vaguely the right shape to replace the missing groin region, but covered it up with a tabard anyway as the rest of my honour guard squad have tabards.
